Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class.
Adds an entry to the index associating @offset to @ts. It is recommended to only add keyframe entries. @force allows to bypass checks, such as whether the stream is (upstream) seekable, another entry is already "close" to the new entry, etc.
Default implementation of #GstBaseParseClass.convert().
Drains the adapter until it is empty. It decreases the min_frame_size to match the current adapter size and calls chain method until the adapter is emptied or chain returns with error.
Collects parsed data and pushes this downstream. Source pad caps must be set when this is called.

Sets the parser subclass's tags and how they should be merged with any upstream stream tags. This will override any tags previously-set with gst_base_parse_merge_tags().
Pushes the frame's buffer downstream, sends any pending events and does some timestamp and segment handling. Takes ownership of frame's buffer, though caller retains ownership of @frame.
Optionally sets the average bitrate detected in media (if non-zero), e.g. based on metadata, as it will be posted to the application.
Sets the duration of the currently playing media. Subclass can use this when it is able to determine duration and/or notices a change in the media duration. Alternatively, if @interval is non-zero (default), then stream duration is determined based on estimated bitrate, and updated every @interval frames.
If frames per second is configured, parser can take care of buffer duration and timestamping. When performing segment clipping, or seeking to a specific location, a corresponding decoder might need an initial @lead_in and a following @lead_out number of frames to ensure the desired segment is entirely filled upon decoding.
Set if frames carry timing information which the subclass can (generally) parse and provide. In particular, intrinsic (rather than estimated) time can be obtained following a seek.
By default, the base class might try to infer PTS from DTS and vice versa. While this is generally correct for audio data, it may not be otherwise. Sub-classes implementing such formats should disable timestamp inferring.
Sets the minimum and maximum (which may likely be equal) latency introduced by the parsing process. If there is such a latency, which depends on the particular parsing of the format, it typically corresponds to 1 frame duration.
Subclass can use this function to tell the base class that it needs to be given buffers of at least @min_size bytes.
Set if the nature of the format or configuration does not allow (much) parsing, and the parser should operate in passthrough mode (which only applies when operating in push mode). That is, incoming buffers are pushed through unmodified, i.e. no #GstBaseParseClass.handle_frame() will be invoked, but #GstBaseParseClass.pre_push_frame() will still be invoked, so subclass can perform as much or as little is appropriate for passthrough semantics in #GstBaseParseClass.pre_push_frame().
By default, the base class will guess PTS timestamps using a simple interpolation (previous timestamp + duration), which is incorrect for data streams with reordering, where PTS can go backward. Sub-classes implementing such formats should disable PTS interpolation.
Set if frame starts can be identified. This is set by default and determines whether seeking based on bitrate averages is possible for a format/stream.
This function should only be called from a @handle_frame implementation.

Abort the state change of the element. This function is used by elements that do asynchronous state changes and find out something is wrong.
Adds a pad (link point) to @element. @pad's parent will be set to @element; see gst_object_set_parent() for refcounting information.
Calls @func from another thread and passes @user_data to it. This is to be used for cases when a state change has to be performed from a streaming thread, directly via gst_element_set_state() or indirectly e.g. via SEEK events.
Perform @transition on @element.
Commit the state change of the element and proceed to the next pending state if any. This function is used by elements that do asynchronous state changes. The core will normally call this method automatically when an element returned %GST_STATE_CHANGE_SUCCESS from the state change function.
Creates a pad for each pad template that is always available. This function is only useful during object initialization of subclasses of #GstElement.
Call @func with @user_data for each of @element's pads. @func will be called exactly once for each pad that exists at the time of this call, unless one of the calls to @func returns %FALSE in which case we will stop iterating pads and return early. If new pads are added or pads are removed while pads are being iterated, this will not be taken into account until next time this function is used.
Call @func with @user_data for each of @element's sink pads. @func will be called exactly once for each sink pad that exists at the time of this call, unless one of the calls to @func returns %FALSE in which case we will stop iterating pads and return early.

Call @func with @user_data for each of @element's source pads. @func will be called exactly once for each source pad that exists at the time of this call, unless one of the calls to @func returns %FALSE in which case we will stop iterating pads and return early. If new source pads are added or source pads are removed while the source pads are being iterated, this will not be taken into account until next time this function is used.
Returns the base time of the element. The base time is the absolute time of the clock when this element was last put to PLAYING. Subtracting the base time from the clock time gives the running time of the element.
Returns the bus of the element. Note that only a #GstPipeline will provide a bus for the application.
Gets the currently configured clock of the element. This is the clock as was last set with gst_element_set_clock().
Looks for an unlinked pad to which the given pad can link. It is not guaranteed that linking the pads will work, though it should work in most cases.

Gets the state of the element.
Retrieves a pad from @element by name. This version only retrieves already-existing (i.e. 'static') pads.
Checks if the state of an element is locked. If the state of an element is locked, state changes of the parent don't affect the element. This way you can leave currently unused elements inside bins. Just lock their state before changing the state from #GST_STATE_NULL.

Retrieves an iterator of @element's sink pads.
Retrieves an iterator of @element's source pads.
Links @src to @dest. The link must be from source to destination; the other direction will not be tried. The function looks for existing pads that aren't linked yet. It will request new pads if necessary. Such pads need to be released manually when unlinking. If multiple links are possible, only one is established.
Links @src to @dest using the given caps as filtercaps. The link must be from source to destination; the other direction will not be tried. The function looks for existing pads that aren't linked yet. It will request new pads if necessary. If multiple links are possible, only one is established.
Links the two named pads of the source and destination elements. Side effect is that if one of the pads has no parent, it becomes a child of the parent of the other element. If they have different parents, the link fails.
Links the two named pads of the source and destination elements. Side effect is that if one of the pads has no parent, it becomes a child of the parent of the other element. If they have different parents, the link fails. If @caps is not %NULL, makes sure that the caps of the link is a subset of @caps.

Post an error, warning or info message on the bus from inside an element.
Post an error, warning or info message on the bus from inside an element.
Use this function to signal that the element does not expect any more pads to show up in the current pipeline. This function should be called whenever pads have been added by the element itself. Elements with #GST_PAD_SOMETIMES pad templates use this in combination with autopluggers to figure out that the element is done initializing its pads.
Post a message on the element's #GstBus. This function takes ownership of the message; if you want to access the message after this call, you should add an additional reference before calling.
Get the clock provided by the given element. > An element is only required to provide a clock in the PAUSED > state. Some elements can provide a clock in other states.
Performs a query on the given element.
Queries an element to convert @src_val in @src_format to @dest_format.
Queries an element (usually top-level pipeline or playbin element) for the total stream duration in nanoseconds. This query will only work once the pipeline is prerolled (i.e. reached PAUSED or PLAYING state). The application will receive an ASYNC_DONE message on the pipeline bus when that is the case.
Queries an element (usually top-level pipeline or playbin element) for the stream position in nanoseconds. This will be a value between 0 and the stream duration (if the stream duration is known). This query will usually only work once the pipeline is prerolled (i.e. reached PAUSED or PLAYING state). The application will receive an ASYNC_DONE message on the pipeline bus when that is the case.
Makes the element free the previously requested pad as obtained with gst_element_request_pad().
Removes @pad from @element. @pad will be destroyed if it has not been referenced elsewhere using gst_object_unparent().
Retrieves a request pad from the element according to the provided template. Pad templates can be looked up using gst_element_factory_get_static_pad_templates().
Sends a seek event to an element. See gst_event_new_seek() for the details of the parameters. The seek event is sent to the element using gst_element_send_event().
Simple API to perform a seek on the given element, meaning it just seeks to the given position relative to the start of the stream. For more complex operations like segment seeks (e.g. for looping) or changing the playback rate or seeking relative to the last configured playback segment you should use gst_element_seek().
Sends an event to an element. If the element doesn't implement an event handler, the event will be pushed on a random linked sink pad for downstream events or a random linked source pad for upstream events.
Set the base time of an element. See gst_element_get_base_time().
Sets the bus of the element. Increases the refcount on the bus. For internal use only, unless you're testing elements.
Sets the clock for the element. This function increases the refcount on the clock. Any previously set clock on the object is unreffed.
Sets the context of the element. Increases the refcount of the context.
Locks the state of an element, so state changes of the parent don't affect this element anymore.
Set the start time of an element. The start time of the element is the running time of the element when it last went to the PAUSED state. In READY or after a flushing seek, it is set to 0.
Sets the state of the element. This function will try to set the requested state by going through all the intermediary states and calling the class's state change function for each.
Tries to change the state of the element to the same as its parent. If this function returns %FALSE, the state of element is undefined.
Unlinks all source pads of the source element with all sink pads of the sink element to which they are linked.
Unlinks the two named pads of the source and destination elements.
This signals that the element will not generate more dynamic pads. Note that this signal will usually be emitted from the context of the streaming thread.
a new #GstPad has been added to the element. Note that this signal will usually be emitted from the context of the streaming thread. Also keep in mind that if you add new elements to the pipeline in the signal handler you will need to set them to the desired target state with gst_element_set_state() or gst_element_sync_state_with_parent().
a #GstPad has been removed from the element
This base class is for parser elements that process data and splits it into separate audio/video/whatever frames.
It provides for:
* provides one sink pad and one source pad * handles state changes * can operate in pull mode or push mode * handles seeking in both modes * handles events (SEGMENT/EOS/FLUSH) * handles queries (POSITION/DURATION/SEEKING/FORMAT/CONVERT) * handles flushing
The purpose of this base class is to provide the basic functionality of a parser and share a lot of rather complex code.
Description of the parsing mechanism:
Set-up phase
* #GstBaseParse calls #GstBaseParseClass.start() to inform subclass that data processing is about to start now.
* #GstBaseParse class calls #GstBaseParseClass.set_sink_caps() to inform the subclass about incoming sinkpad caps. Subclass could already set the srcpad caps accordingly, but this might be delayed until calling gst_base_parse_finish_frame() with a non-queued frame.
* At least at this point subclass needs to tell the #GstBaseParse class how big data chunks it wants to receive (minimum frame size ). It can do this with gst_base_parse_set_min_frame_size().
* #GstBaseParse class sets up appropriate data passing mode (pull/push) and starts to process the data.
Parsing phase
* #GstBaseParse gathers at least min_frame_size bytes of data either by pulling it from upstream or collecting buffers in an internal #GstAdapter.
* A buffer of (at least) min_frame_size bytes is passed to subclass with #GstBaseParseClass.handle_frame(). Subclass checks the contents and can optionally return #GST_FLOW_OK along with an amount of data to be skipped to find a valid frame (which will result in a subsequent DISCONT). If, otherwise, the buffer does not hold a complete frame, #GstBaseParseClass.handle_frame() can merely return and will be called again when additional data is available. In push mode this amounts to an additional input buffer (thus minimal additional latency), in pull mode this amounts to some arbitrary reasonable buffer size increase.
Of course, gst_base_parse_set_min_frame_size() could also be used if a very specific known amount of additional data is required. If, however, the buffer holds a complete valid frame, it can pass the size of this frame to gst_base_parse_finish_frame().
If acting as a converter, it can also merely indicate consumed input data while simultaneously providing custom output data. Note that baseclass performs some processing (such as tracking overall consumed data rate versus duration) for each finished frame, but other state is only updated upon each call to #GstBaseParseClass.handle_frame() (such as tracking upstream input timestamp).
Subclass is also responsible for setting the buffer metadata (e.g. buffer timestamp and duration, or keyframe if applicable). (although the latter can also be done by #GstBaseParse if it is appropriately configured, see below). Frame is provided with timestamp derived from upstream (as much as generally possible), duration obtained from configuration (see below), and offset if meaningful (in pull mode).
Note that #GstBaseParseClass.handle_frame() might receive any small amount of input data when leftover data is being drained (e.g. at EOS).
* As part of finish frame processing, just prior to actually pushing the buffer in question, it is passed to #GstBaseParseClass.pre_push_frame() which gives subclass yet one last chance to examine buffer metadata, or to send some custom (tag) events, or to perform custom (segment) filtering.
* During the parsing process #GstBaseParseClass will handle both srcpad and sinkpad events. They will be passed to subclass if #GstBaseParseClass.sink_event() or #GstBaseParseClass.src_event() implementations have been provided.
Shutdown phase
* #GstBaseParse class calls #GstBaseParseClass.stop() to inform the subclass that data parsing will be stopped.
Subclass is responsible for providing pad template caps for source and sink pads. The pads need to be named "sink" and "src". It also needs to set the fixed caps on srcpad, when the format is ensured (e.g. when base class calls subclass' #GstBaseParseClass.set_sink_caps() function).
This base class uses %GST_FORMAT_DEFAULT as a meaning of frames. So, subclass conversion routine needs to know that conversion from %GST_FORMAT_TIME to %GST_FORMAT_DEFAULT must return the frame number that can be found from the given byte position.
#GstBaseParse uses subclasses conversion methods also for seeking (or otherwise uses its own default one, see also below).
Subclass @start and @stop functions will be called to inform the beginning and end of data processing.
Things that subclass need to take care of:
* Provide pad templates * Fixate the source pad caps when appropriate * Inform base class how big data chunks should be retrieved. This is done with gst_base_parse_set_min_frame_size() function. * Examine data chunks passed to subclass with #GstBaseParseClass.handle_frame() and pass proper frame(s) to gst_base_parse_finish_frame(), and setting src pad caps and timestamps on frame. * Provide conversion functions * Update the duration information with gst_base_parse_set_duration() * Optionally passthrough using gst_base_parse_set_passthrough() * Configure various baseparse parameters using gst_base_parse_set_average_bitrate(), gst_base_parse_set_syncable() and gst_base_parse_set_frame_rate().
* In particular, if subclass is unable to determine a duration, but parsing (or specs) yields a frames per seconds rate, then this can be provided to #GstBaseParse to enable it to cater for buffer time metadata (which will be taken from upstream as much as possible). Internally keeping track of frame durations and respective sizes that have been pushed provides #GstBaseParse with an estimated bitrate. A default #GstBaseParseClass.convert() (used if not overridden) will then use these rates to perform obvious conversions. These rates are also used to update (estimated) duration at regular frame intervals.
